Dallas Goedert injury update: Eagles TE's status for NFC Championship game vs. Commanders explored

Dallas Goedert has grown leaps and bounds since he was elevated to a starter in Philadelphia. The Eagles' tight end is a safety blanket for Jalen Hurts and a consistent contributor to Nick Sirianni's offense. Let's examine Goedert's availability before the Eagles' NFC championship game against the Washington Commanders.

Exploring Dallas Goedert's availability status for the NFC championship game

According to CBS Sports, Dallas Goedert did not feature in Wednesday's estimated practice due to an ankle issue. The veteran tight end will have two more chances to prove his fitness ahead of the conference championship game versus the Commanders.

Goedert dealt with his share of injuries in the 2024/25 season, missing seven games in the regular season. However, he's been available and impressive in the postseason, featuring in both games against the Green Bay Packers and Los Angeles Rams.

Goedert is not the only Philadelphia Eagles standout in danger of missing out on the NFC championship game. Offensive lineman Cam Jurgens was absent from the estimate due to a back issue. Other players on the injury report are A.J. Brown, Britain Covey, Jalen Hurts, Lane Johnson, Quinyon Mitchell, Kenny Pickett, Josh Sweat, and Byron Young.

Pickett and Young were estimated as full participants, while the rest were estimated as limited participants. Their availability for the Commanders game will be more evident after the subsequent two training sessions.

How did Dallas Goedert perform in the divisional round?

Dallas Goedert was a key part of his side's one-score victory over the Los Angeles Rams. Goedert was a matchup nightmare versus the Rams, as Sean McVay's side could not contain him anytime Hurts found him.

Goedert ended the divisional round game with a stat line of four catches off four targets and 56 receiving yards. He averages 14 yards per catch in the win.

Goedert has amassed a stat line of eight catches, 103 receiving yards, and one touchdown in the playoffs. He will look to continue his form against the Washington Commanders as the Eagles aim to compete in the Super Bowl, where they'll face off against either the Kansas City Chiefs or Buffalo Bills in New Orleans.
